IMPROVEMENT IN GAS-EURNERS FOR HEATING.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 142,360, dated September 2, 1873; application filed V A August 9, 1873.

or violet flame of intense heat-giving properties, andwith' a comparatively moderate consumption of gas. t

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a duplex burner embodying my invention. Figs. 2 and 3 are vertical sections in planes at right angles to each other.

A is an ordinary bracket or service gas-pipe, having customary cock B and burner G Screwed to the horizontal portion a of pipe A just behind the burner is a T-coupling, D, into whose lower opening is screwed my air-inlet pipe E, and into whose upper opening is screwed my air-andgas-minglin g pipe or ch amber F, into which the burner proper, O, discharges. ]?ipe F is surmounted .by a T-coupling, G, to which are connected two other T- couplings, H and H, into whose lower openings are screwed my catch and equalizing chambers I and I, and into whose upper openings are screwed my nozzles J and J, from whose ventages j the now thoroughly inter mingled air and gasv escape in the form of intensely hot violet flames.

The combustion is found to be very perfect and equal, owing in part to the thorough mixin g of the air and gas, and in part to the chambers I and I, which serve as a sort of pneumatic cushion to preserve an equal pressure of the escaping mixture. Said chambers also serve to catch any partiallyburned particles that may fall into the burners J J.

It will be seen that all parts of this burner are accessible for cleaning or examination, and that there is no part of it liable to become clogged, as is the case with the various forms of wire-gauze and foraminous diaphragms employed in gas-stoves of the kinds commonly used.

It will be seen that my arrangement converts one ordinary gas-burner into two or more heating-burners.

-I claim herein as new and of my invention- The arrangement of gas-pipe A a, cock B, burner G, T-couplings D G H H, air-inlet E, mingling-chamber F, catch and equalizing chambers I I, and nozzles J J, for the purpose set forth.

In testimony of which invention I hereunto set my hand.
